Introduction www.ti.com

1 IntroductionThe deterioration of insulation is one of the primary causes of electrical equipment failure. This TI designprovides a reference solution to measure the insulation resistance up to 100 MΩ with an uncalibratedaccuracy of 5%. The reference design uses an onboard isolated 500-V DC power supply and isolatedsignal conditioning circuit to measure the leakage current for determining the insulation resistance.

1.1 Importance of Insulation MeasurementInsulating materials play a critical role in the life of electrical equipment. The failure of insulation, while inservice, may cause significant damage to equipment and to the system to which the equipment isconnected. Insulation failure can cause dangerous voltage, fire, high fault current and explosion, damageto equipment and property, personnel injury, and fatal accident. By applying insulation tests, the user canidentify deteriorated insulation before any failure occurs.

1.2 Causes of Insulation DegradationThe main causes of insulation failure are dielectric contamination, temperature cycling, excessiveoverloads, excessive voltage stress due to overvoltage, and aging.1. Thermal stress: Running the machine in excessively hot or cold conditions causes over expansion or

contraction of the insulation, which may result in cracks and failures. However, thermal stresses arealso incurred every time a machine starts or stops. Unless the machinery is designed for intermittentuse, every stop and start adversely affects the aging process of the insulation.

2. Electric stress: Insulation is designed for a particular application. Overvoltages cause abnormal stresswithin the insulation, which can lead to cracking or delamination of the insulation.

3. Voltage unbalance: When the voltage between all three phases is equal (balanced), the current valuesare the same in each phase winding. When the voltages between the three phases (AB, BC, and CA)are not equal (unbalanced), the current increases dramatically in the motor windings. If the user allowsthis increase to continue for too long, the motor is damaged.

Normal cycles of operation lead to aging through the previously mentioned mechanisms. The aging ofinsulation is a slow process of degradation as these factors interact with each other in a gradual spiral ofdecline. At some point, depending on both original and operating conditions, the decline may speed upsignificantly.

www.ti.com System Description

2 System DescriptionThe TIDA-00440 reference design uses a mechanism to find the leakage current and detect the failure ininsulation. The leakage current is measured by applying a fixed, high voltage DC and by measuring theleakage current flowing through the shunt. The high voltage DC is generated using an onboard powersupply based on a flyback topology, which takes a wide range of DC input voltage from 150-V DC to800-V DC. The functionality of finding insulation resistance is implemented using two boards: the mainboard (TIDA-00440MB), which is the signal conditioning circuit , and the daughter board (TIDA-00440DB),which has an Isolated 500-V DC.

One important point to note is that the test levels, test voltage, and insulation levels derive from the IEEEstandard IEEE43-2000 (IEEE Recommended Practice for Testing Insulation Resistance of RotatingMachinery [1]). This standard describes a recommended procedure for measuring insulation resistanceand describes the typical insulation resistance characteristics of rotating machine windings and how thesecharacteristics indicate winding condition. This standard recommends the minimum acceptable values ofinsulation resistance for AC and DC rotating machine windings. Using this standard as a base, Table 1makes the following judgments:

Table 1. Insulation Resistance

INSULATION JUDGEMENTRESISTANCE100 MΩ or higher Acceptable.

10 to 100 MΩ The winding has begun deteriorating. There is no problem with the performanceat present. Be sure to perform a periodic inspection.

1 to 10 MΩ The winding has considerably deteriorated. Special care is required. Be sure toperform a periodic inspection.

Lower than 1 MΩ Unacceptable.

3 Design FeaturesThe TIDA-00440 reference design features the following characteristics:1. Leakage current measurement circuit with option for:

(a) Programmable current sense amplifier: INA225 has four gain-settings selected based on the GS0and GS1

(b) Switchable shunt resistors2. Facilitates online insulation measurement during installation and maintenance testing3. Range of measurement: 0 Ω to 100 MΩ4. Measurement accuracy: 5% (Uncalibrated)5. Test voltage Level derived from IEEE 43-2000 (Recommended Practice for Testing Insulation

Resistance of Rotating Machinery)6. Onboard isolated 500-V power supply to measure insulation resistance7. Provision for calibration resistor on board8. Provision for polarization index measurement based on test duration9. Basic isolation for measurement circuit10. Onboard relay to disconnect the insulation measurement circuit when not in operation

4 Block Diagram

Figure 1. High-Level Block Diagram of Measurement Circuit

Figure 1 shows the high-level block diagram of the measurement circuit. As previously mentioned, thisdesign consists of two boards: one main board (TIDA-00440MB) and one daughter board(TIDA-00440DB). The flyback (DC/DC) block on the left side of Figure 1 is the daughter board. All theremaining blocks are present on the main board.

The leakage current is measured by applying a fixed voltage and measuring the voltage across the shuntthat is a result of the leakage current. The reference design uses different switchable shunt resistances,which are switched on in a sequence to measure the insulation resistance. When there is a dead short,the insulation resistance is 0 Ω and a full current (or maximum) can pass through the insulation resistance.At this point in the measurement having a smaller shunt value (by turning on all of the switches) ismandatory. In the other case, when the insulation is higher, a higher shunt value is required. The leakagecurrent flowing through the shunt or shunts is measured using a current shunt monitor (INA225). Theleakage current is amplified with different gains (if required), which can be programmed using pins GS0and GS1 of the INA225 device. If using the gain of the INA225 is not required, the voltage across theshunt can be routed directly by using an onboard multiplexer (TS5A23157). The measured output voltageis isolated using an isolated amplifier (AMC1200), which has an output that can connect to an MCU. Theswitchable shunts and the multiplexer (MUX) channels are controlled through DIP switches, which areisolated using a digital isolator (ISO7640FM). The DIP switches are used to emulate the signals comingfrom the MCU to change the gain and shunts. The board operates from 15 V and then generates twoisolated 5-V rails through the Fly-Buck. The primary side generates 3.3 V.

The daughter board consists of an isolated discontinuous mode (DCM) flyback circuit for generating500-V DC from an input voltage ranging from 150-V DC to 800-V DC. On the main board, there is aprovision to measure the 500-V DC output voltage for diagnostic purposes.

5 Principle of Operation

5.1 Current-Shunt ApproachThis design uses a current-shunt approach to measure the insulation resistance. Figure 2 shows aschematic of the current-shunt approach. The circuit consists of three stages: the current shunt monitor,multiplexer, and isolation amplifier.

Figure 2. Signal Chain for Current Shunt Method

Multiple shunts are used in this design, which is important to note. Figure 3 shows the shunt resistorsused for the insulation measurement. R13 is the fixed shunt and R11−R12 are switched on and off byusing two MOSFETs (Q1 and Q2), respectively. Both of the MOSFETs are CSD13202Q2 logic-levelNexFETs from TI.

The current shunt monitor used in this design is INA225 (see Figure 4). The voltage across the shunt(between the ISENSE and MID points in the schematic) is connected to the inputs of INA225. The boardhas provisions to ensure protection, such as a 5-V clamp diode (D10) and differential caps (C42 and C43).These protections are currently not populated on the board and are marked as do not populate (DNP).The gain of INA225 is programmable and can be set by using the GS0 and GS1 pins. Table 2 shows thegain setting for INA225. The gain can also be programmed using a signal SW2 coming from the digitalisolator.

The TS5A23157 is an analog multiplexer with two differential channels. One channel is connected to theoutput of INA225 and the second channel is connected directly to the sense signal (between ISENSE andMID). The selection between the two differential channels of TS5A23157 is controlled by the signal MUX,coming from the digital isolator. During scenarios of high leakage current, gain may not be required andthe INA225 monitor can be bypassed using the TS5A23157 device.

NOTE: When INA225 is not used for providing the gain, TI recommends to unpopulate R20 and R24to prevent any effect due to the input impedance of INA225.

The output of TS5A23157 is connected to the isolated amplifier AMC1200 (see Figure 5). The non-isolated side of AMC1200 is powered with 5V_VCC1 coming from the TLV1117-50. The isolated side ofAMC1200 is powered with 3.3 V coming from the LM5160 Fly-Buck power supply section. Both of thesupplies are decoupled using 0.1-μF capacitors (C38 and C40 respectively). The differential output ofAMC1200 is available on terminal J8.

Figure 5. AMC1200 Section of Current Shunt Method

5.1.1 Single-Shunt ApproachIn this approach, both the MOSFETs Q1 and Q2 are turned off using signals SW1 and SW2, respectively.So, the shunt resistor used in this case is R13 only (fixed at a value of 22 Ω). To cover the entire range ofinsulation resistance, the gain of INA225 is varied using GS0 and GS1 pins. Figure 6 shows the simplifiedconnection diagram for this approach. Section 8.2 shows the measurement accuracy for this approach.

Figure 9. INA333 Section for Resistive Divider Method

The 500-V DC coming from the daughter board is applied across the insulation resistance. The voltagedeveloped across the insulation resistance is divided by four resistors: R44, R58, R3, and R6. Animportant thing to note is that the total resistance is divided into three 7.5-MΩ resistors to reduce thevoltage stress on each of the resistors. A single high-voltage resistor is costly in comparison to the threedifferent low-voltage resistors. The voltage across R6 is fed to the input of the instrumentation amplifierINA333. One 100-pF capacitor (C2) is used as a filter for any noise present on the input signal. The boardhas provisions to ensure protection, such as a 5-V clamp diode (D9) and differential caps (C15 and C35).These protections are currently not populated on the board and are marked as DNP. The gain of theINA333 amplifier can be set by the RG pin (that is R10 in Figure 9) using the following formula:Gain = 1 + (100 k / RG) (1)

Currently the gain is set at unity because of the signal levels. The output of INA333 is connected to theisolated amplifier AMC1200 (see Figure 10).

NOTE: The primary reason for using an INA333 amplifier is to provide a high input impedance forthe measurement circuit. For lower-cost applications, a simple op-amp based, non-invertingunity-gain buffer can be used.

The non-isolated side of the AMC1200 device is powered with 5V_VCC2 coming from the LP2985A-50.The isolated side of the AMC1200 device is powered with 3.3 V coming from the LM5160 Fly-Bucksection. Both of the supplies are decoupled using 0.1-μF capacitors (C13 and C14, respectively). Thedifferential output of the AMC1200 is available on terminal J7.

Figure 11 shows a simplified circuit for the resistive divider approach.

Figure 11. Simplified Resistive Divider Approach

Figure 12 shows the TINA-TI™ simulation software for the resistive divider approach. The graph from theTINA-TI simulation (Figure 13) shows that, due to the ratio of resistors, the voltage across R6 does notvary linearly with the insulation resistance. The measured value of voltage at the output of AMC1200 isalmost saturated with an insulation resistance value greater than 15 MΩ. Section 8.3 shows the sameobservation during the testing and in the results.

6.1 Sensing of 500-V DC for Resistive Divider ApproachTo measure the 500-V DC voltage, the design is provided with an isolated amplifier AMC1200. Figure 14shows a schematic of the AMC1200.

Figure 14. Sensing of 500-V DC Voltage

The 500-V input coming from the daughter card is stepped down using four resistors: R64, R65, R19, andR27. The voltage across R27 is taken as an input to the AMC1200. An important thing to note is that thetotal resistance is divided into three 3-MΩ resistors to reduce the voltage stress on each of the resistors.One single high-voltage resistor is costly in comparison to the three different low-voltage resistors. Theboard has a 5-V clamp diode (D5) if protection is required. This protection is currently not populated onthe board and is marked as DNP. The non-isolated side of the AMC1200 is powered with 5V_VCC2coming from the LP2985A-50. The isolated side of the AMC1200 is powered with 3.3 V coming from theLM5160 Fly-Buck section. Both the supplies are decoupled using 0.1-μF capacitors (C36 and C37,respectively). The differential output of the AMC1200 is available on terminal J6.

An important thing to note is that the input impedance of the AMC1200 amplifier is approximately 28 kΩ(typical). With such a high value for the sense resistor (R27 = 3 kΩ), the effect of input impedance mustbe considered. The current passing through each of the resistors must also be very low to reduce theoverall power consumption. In short, this trade-off must be addressed.

6.2 Digital Isolator and DIP SwitchesAs previously mentioned, signals SW1 and SW2 control the MOSFETs in the current shunt method. TheMUX signal is used to select the input channel of the multiplexer TS5A23157. The signal RELAY controlsthe onboard relay. The intention of this design is to have all of these signals originate from an MCU in theend-application. To emulate this intention, the design uses four-channel DIP switches (see Figure 15).Because the MCU operates at 3.3 V and the control signals control the high-voltage circuits, isolating theMCU and high-voltage circuit is important. The ISO7640FM is a digital isolator from TI with four channels.The outputs are enabled when EN = 1. To enable and disable the outputs of the ISO7640FM, tworesistors are used (R41 and R42). R41 is currently populated, which means that the outputs are enabled.The isolated side of the ISO7640FM device is powered with 5V_VCC1 coming from the TLV1117-50; thenon-isolated side is powered with 3.3 V coming from the LM5160 Fly-Buck section. Both of the suppliesare decoupled using 0.1-μF capacitors (C9 and C10, respectively).

Figure 15. ISO7640FM With DIP Switches

6.3 Onboard RelayAs Figure 16 shows, the TIDA-00440 reference design uses one relay for connecting and disconnectingthe end equipment from the measurement circuit. The normally closed (NC) contacts of the relay areconnected to a calibration resistor R35. Banana terminals J3 and J4 are used for connecting the endequipment that requires insulation measurements. The relay is driven using a simple BJT, which iscontrolled by the signal RELAY originating from the digital isolator IS07640FM. Because the applicationrequires a high voltage of 500 V, selecting the relay with the proper creepage and clearances is important.

6.4 Calculation of Power Consumption for All ComponentsFigure 17 shows the scheme for the power supply. The operating input voltage range for the Fly-Buckpower supply is 10-V DC to 20-V DC. The 3.3 V (required to power the non-isolated side) generates fromthe primary winding of the Fly-Buck. Two +6-V outputs generated from the Fly-Buck transformer areconverted to +5-V outputs, each using two different LDOs. The +5V_VCC1 is used to power themeasurement circuit for the current-shunt approach and the relay. The +5V_VCC2 is used to power themeasurement circuit for the resistive divider approach.

6.5 Design of Fly-Buck Power Supply Using LM5160The primary goal of this design is to provide a high-performance, cost-effective, and easy-to-designisolated power supply solution. The Fly-Buck is basically a buck regulator with couple windings added tothe inductor. The coupled windings can generate isolated outputs. View more details about this topology inAppendix A—Fly-Buck Power Supply.

6.5.1 Setting the Primary Side Output VoltageThe primary-side regulation (PSR) of the Fly-Buck topology is realized through the coupled winding of thetransformer, as the primary output clamps the secondary outputs during the duty-off time. Setting theprimary output is the first step in a Fly-Buck converter design. Having the duty cycle below 50% is optimalbecause the Fly-Buck secondary outputs transfer the energy in off-time; and having a duty cycle too highaffects the energy flow. Based on VPRI = D × VIN, the primary side output is initially set at 3.3 V, whichgives 33% of D at the minimum of VIN = 10 V. Then the secondary-to-primary turns ratio of the transformercan be estimated as N = VSEC / VPRI = 1.91, and the primary-side average current at full-load is roughlyiopri + 2(N × iosec) = 1.155 A, accounting for a 250-mA current on each of the secondary outputs. Theseparameters must be tuned and adjusted during the design process. In the final design, the primary outputvoltage is settled at 3.3 V, as Figure 18 shows.

Figure 18. Primary Section of Fly-Buck Using LM5160

6.5.2 Transformer DesignThe desirable transformer turns ratio is calculated based on the secondary-to-primary output ratio, whichis 1.91:1. The rectifier diode forward voltage and winding data capture record (DCR) drop must be takeninto account. The turns-ratio also has a certain granularity limit subject to the actual winding turn count. Toaccommodate that granularity limit, adjust the primary output voltage accordingly.

The primary side inductance determines the current ripple in the transformer. The LM5160 device limitsthe peak current to approximately 2.1 A, and from the estimated 1.155-A average current level, there isplenty of ripple margin.

6.7 Design of Flyback Power Supply Using UCC28711 (TIDA-00440DB Daughter Board)

6.7.1 Requirements of the Power SupplyThe requirements of the main isolated power supply to be used in insulation measurement are as follows:1. Input range: 150-V DC to 800-V DC2. Output voltage: 500-V DC3. Output current: 2 mA (max)4. < 1% output ripple voltage5. Isolation: Functional6. Regulation: < 5%7. Size: As compact as possible8. Controller must be able to shut down the power supply when a measurement is not made

6.7.2 Circuit DesignTo translate the Section 6.7.1 Requirements of Power Supply to the sub-system level, Section 6.7.2.1through Section 6.7.2.3 lists the requirements of the PWM controller, MOSFETs, and transformer.

6.7.2.1 PWM ControllerBecause a ±5% regulation is acceptable, a PSR controller is feasible for this task. The primary-sidefeedback eliminates the requirement of using optocoupler feedback circuits. A device with discontinuousconduction mode with valley switching can minimize switching losses. The UCC28711 is a suitablecontroller for this application. The UCC28711 device is a flyback power-supply controller, which providesaccurate voltage and constant current regulation with primary-side feedback. The modulation scheme is acombination of frequency and primary peak-current modulation to provide high conversion efficiencyacross the load range. The controller has a maximum switching frequency of 106 kHz and allows for ashut-down operation using the NTC pin.

6.7.2.2 Transformer DesignThe transformer design has the following specifications:1. Input: 100-V DC to 850-V DC2. Frequency: 70 kHz (min)3. Ambient temperature: 60°C (max)4. Output: Split into two secondaries – each of 250-V DC at 25 mA5. Max. operating duration: 30 min6. Topology: Flyback (DCM)7. Controller to be used: UCC287118. Preferred core size: EE16 (EE16 core is required due to winding accommodation)9. Insulation: Functional10. Auxiliary winding: 15 V at 30 mA

6.7.2.4 Primary-Side RegulationIn primary-side control, the output voltage is sensed on the auxiliary winding during the transfer oftransformer energy to the secondary. Appendix B—PSR Flyback Power Supply provides more details onthe component selection.

The output overvoltage function is determined by the voltage feedback on the VS pin. If the voltagesample on VS exceeds 115% of the nominal VOUT, the device stops switching and also stops the internalcurrent consumption of IFAULT. Stopping the internal current consumption of IFAULT discharges the VDDcapacitor to the UVLO turn-off threshold. After this discharge, the device returns to the start state and astart-up sequence ensues.

Protection is included in the event of component failures on the VS pin. If complete loss of feedbackinformation on the VS pin occurs, the controller stops switching and restarts.

6.7.2.5 Current SensingFor this reference design, a 0.75-Ω resistor is selected based on a nominal maximum current-sense signalof 0.75 V. Figure 25 shows the current sense circuit of the schematic.

6.7.2.6 Power-On and HV Start-UpFigure 26 shows the power-on sequence for the UCC28711 device. When the VDD pin of the UCC28711reaches the VVDD_ON threshold, the device generates three initial drive pulses for the MOSFET. These drivepulses turn on the PWM controller with the help of a high-voltage startup (HV) pin.

The UCC28711 device has an internal 700-V startup switch. Because the DC bus can be as high as800-V DC, an external Zener voltage regulator is used to limit the voltage at the HV pin to about550-V DC. The typical startup current is approximately 300 μA, which provides fast charging of the VDDcapacitor. The internal HV startup device is active until VDD exceeds the turn-on UVLO threshold of 21 V,at which time the HV startup device is turned off. In the off state, the leakage current is very low tominimize standby losses of the controller. When the VDD falls below the 8.1-V UVLO turn-off threshold,the HV startup device is turned on. Figure 27 shows the HV startup circuit.

Figure 27. HV Startup

6.7.2.7 MOSFET Gate DriveThe DRV pin of the UCC28711 device is connected to the MOSFET gate pin through a series resistor.The gate driver provides a gate drive signal limited to 14 V. The turnon characteristic of the driver is a25-mA current source, which limits the turnon dv/dt of the MOSFET drain. This characteristic reduces theleading-edge current spike, but still provides a gate drive current to overcome the Miller plateau. The gate-drive turnoff current is determined by the low-side driver RDS_ON and any external gate-drive resistance.Figure 28 shows the gate drive for MOSFET.

6.7.2.8 Shutdown Mechanism for UCC28711The NTC pin of the UCC28711 device can be pulled down to shut down the PWM operation of the device.Figure 29 shows the isolated shutdown mechanism for the UCC28711 using an optocoupler. In situationsthat do not require measuring the insulation resistance, use a SHUTDOWN signal coming from anyavailable MCU in the application to shut off the 500-V DC output.

Figure 29. Isolated Shutdown for UCC28711

6.7.2.9 Generating Isolated 500-V DC OutputThe two secondary windings of the transformer produce 250 V each while regulating. To generate 500 V,use a simple voltage doubler, as Figure 30 shows. In the case of a no-load condition, or during anyabnormal condition, if the output tries to go much higher, a 550-V Zener (connected across the output)protects the output from going out of regulation.

8 Test DataThe design is tested in all three configurations as explained in the following Section 8.1 throughSection 8.3.

8.1 Multiple-Shunt ApproachAs Section 5.1.2 explains, based on the insulation resistance, different shunt resistor values may berequired. To implement this change, resistors R11, R12, and R13 are switched using MOSFETs Q1 andQ2. Figure 33 shows the measurement accuracy for this approach.

Figure 33. Accuracy for Multiple Switchable Shunt Approach

As Table 5 shows, the shunt resistor value changes on-the-fly (using SW1 and SW2 signals), while theoutput of the AMC1200 must not go below 200 mV at any time.1. For an insulation resistance between 0 Ω and 3 MΩ, the value of shunt resistor is 220 kΩ || 2.7 kΩ ||

261 Ω || 28.02 kΩ.2. For an insulation resistance between 3.1 MΩ and 39.6 MΩ, the value of shunt resistor is 220 kΩ ||

2.7kΩ || 28.02 kΩ.3. For an insulation resistance between 39.7 MΩ and 98.4 MΩ, the value of shunt resistor is 220 kΩ ||

28.02 kΩ.

The accuracy graph in Figure 33 highlights the three options using different colors.

One important point to note here is the 28.02-kΩ resistance in parallel with each of the combinations,which is the input impedance of the AMC1200 device. The accuracy numbers are calibrated and accountfor the change in input impedance of the AMC1200.

8.3 Resistive Divider ApproachAs Section 5.2 explains, the circuit has an option to measure the insulation resistance using the resistivedivider approach. Figure 35 shows the accuracy results using the resistive divider approach,

Figure 35. Accuracy for Resistive Divider Approach

As Table 7 shows, the % accuracy is < 1% for a range of 0 Ω to 22.49 MΩ, but the measured output isalmost 3 mV to 4 mV different from the previous value. This difference in value means that a high-resolution ADC is required when using the resistive divider approach.

8.6 Testing With 2HP 3-Ph AC Induction MotorAs Figure 51 shows, the TIDA-00440 reference design was tested with a motor. The insulation resistancemeasurement takes place between one of the motor terminals (yellow wire in this example ), and theframe of the motor (black wire). Figure 52 shows a zoomed-in version of the motor section. The motorused for this experiment is a 2-hp, three-phase AC induction motor. The insulation resistance of this motor(measured with high-resistance measurement equipment from Keithley) is 547 MΩ.

For the sake of measurement, one 100-MΩ resistance is connected in parallel with the motor insulation.The parallel combination is measured with the TIDA-00440 device. After doing this check, the insulationresistance is 547 MΩ || 100 MΩ = 84.54 MΩ (theoretically). Table 8 shows the actual values of insulationresistance measured with the single-shunt approach and the multiple-shunt approach.

In particular, the following guidelines must be observed:• The loop consisting of the input capacitor, VIN pin, and PGND pin carries the switching current.

Therefore, the input capacitor must be placed close to the IC, directly across the VIN and PGND pins.The connections to these two pins must be direct to minimize the loop area. In general, placing all ofthe input capacitances near the IC is not a possibilty. A good practice is to use a 0.1- to 0.47-μFcapacitor directly across the VIN and PGND pins as close as possible to the IC with the remaining bulkcapacitor.

• The VCC and bootstrap (BST) bypass capacitors supply switching currents to the high and low-sidegate drivers. These two capacitors must also be placed as close to the IC as possible, and theconnecting trace length and loop area must be minimized.

• The feedback trace carries the output voltage information and a small ripple component that isnecessary for proper operation of the LM5160 device. Therefore, take care while routing the feedbacktrace to avoid coupling any noise into the feedback (FB) pin. In particular, the feedback trace must notrun close to magnetic components, or parallel to any other switching trace.

• SW trace: The SW node switches rapidly between VIN and GND every cycle and is therefore a sourceof noise. The SW node area must be minimized. In particular, the SW node must not be inadvertentlyconnected to a copper plane or pour.

small as possible (see Figure 57).2. There must be a single point ground for the controller IC.3. The control ground and power ground must be connected at a single point, which is the input bulk

capacitor (see Figure 58 and Figure 59).

Appendix A—Fly-Buck Power SupplyThe Fly-Buck is basically a buck regulator with couple windings added to the inductor. The coupledwindings can generate isolated outputs. The physical appearance of the Fly-Buck resembles acombination of a buck and flyback converter, hence the name Fly-Buck (Figure 60). The operation on theprimary side is similar to the buck, while the secondary side output is clamped by the primary output. TheFly-Buck operation in a switching cycle can be divided into on-time and off-time, as Figure 61 shows.

Figure 60. From Buck to Fly-Buck

Figure 61. The Fly-Buck in ON and OFF time

During TON, the rectifier diode is in reverse bias, so the secondary side is cut off from the primary. Theprimary side operates similarly as it does in a buck regulator; the transformer primary current rises linearly.The primary output voltage is Vpri = D × VIN. During TOFF, the diode is forward biased and conducts. Thecurrent can flow in the primary and secondary side simultaneously; however, the magnetizing current inthe transformer is still in the triangle waveform, which can be calculated as the combination of the primaryand secondary winding current as defined by Equation 2:

The primary side output clamps the secondary output voltage, VSEC = N × VPRI. View the steady-stateoperation waveforms of a Fly-Buck in Figure 62.

Figure 62. Fly-Buck Operation Waveform

From the preceding analysis, the magnetizing current ripple can be derived as Equation 3:

where• LPRI = Primary inductance• D = TON / (TON + TOFF) = Duty cycle• fSW = Switching frequency (3)

Equation 4 calculates the peak current of the primary side as:

where• iopri = Average primary output current• iosec = Average secondary output current (4)

If multiple outputs are involved, each secondary output must be converted to the primary side bymultiplying the corresponding turns-ratio — Equation 2 is still applicable.

Appendix B—PSR Flyback Power SupplyThe UCC28711 is a PSR flyback controller. In primary-side control, the output voltage is sensed on theauxiliary winding during the transfer of transformer energy to the secondary. To achieve an accuraterepresentation of the secondary output voltage on the auxiliary winding, the discriminator (insideUCC28711) reliably blocks the leakage inductance reset and ringing, continuously samples the auxiliaryvoltage during the down slope after the ringing is diminished, and captures the error signal at the time thesecondary winding reaches zero current. The internal reference on VS is 4.05 V; and VS is connected to aresistor divider from the auxiliary winding to the ground. The output-voltage feedback information issampled at the end of the transformer secondary-current demagnetization time to provide an accuraterepresentation of the output voltage. Timing information to achieve valley switching and to control the dutycycle of the secondary transformer current is determined by the waveform on the VS pin. TI does notrecommend to place a filter capacitor on this input, which would interfere with accurate sensing of thiswaveform. The VS pin senses the bulk-capacitor voltage to provide for AC-input run and stop thresholds.The VS pin also compensates the current-sense threshold across the AC-input range. The VS pininformation is sensed during the MOSFET on-time. For the AC-input run or stop function, the run thresholdon VS is 225 μA and the stop threshold is 80 μA. A wide separation of run and stop thresholds allowsclean startup and shutdown of the power supply with the line voltage. The values for the auxiliary voltagedivider upper-resistor RS1 and lower-resistor RS2 can be determined by Equation 5 and Equation 6.

where• NPA is the transformer primary-to-auxiliary turns ratio• VIN_RUN is the converter input start-up (run) voltage• IVSL_RUN is the run threshold for the current pulled out of the VS pin during the MOSFET on-time (equal to 220

μA max from the UCC28711 data sheet) (5)

where• VOCV is the regulated output voltage of the converter• VF is the secondary rectifier forward voltage drop at near-zero current• NAS is the transformer auxiliary-to-secondary turns ratio• RS1 is the VS divider high-side resistance• VVSR is the CV regulating level at the VS input (equal to 4.05 V typical from the UCC28711 data sheet) (6)

The UCC28711 device operates with cycle-by-cycle primary-peak current control. The normal operatingrange of the CS pin is 0.78 V to 0.195 V. There is additional protection if the CS pin reaches 1.5 V, whichresults in a UVLO reset and restart sequence. The current-sense (CS) pin is connected through a seriesresistor (RLC) to the current-sense resistor (RCS). The current-sense threshold is 0.75 V for IPP_MAX and0.25 V for IPP_MIN. The series resistor RLC provides the function of feed-forward line compensation toeliminate any change in IPP due to change in di/dt and the propagation delay of the internal comparatorand MOSFET turnoff time. There is an internal leading-edge blanking time of 235 ns to eliminatesensitivity to the MOSFET turn-on current spike. The value of RCS is determined by the target outputcurrent in constant-current (CC) regulation, as Equation 7 shows. The value of RLC is determined byEquation 8.

where• RCS is the current sense resistor value• VCCR is the current regulation constant (equal to 330 mV typical from the UCC28711 data sheet)• NPS is the transformer primary-to-secondary turns ratio• IOCC is the target output current in constant-current regulation• ηXFMR is the transformer efficiency (7)
